The journey through Middle and High School art at Rosehill is a season of bold discovery, where students are encouraged to test boundaries, take creative risks, and find their unique voice. We believe that behind every creative professional is a young adult who was inspired to express their faith and ideas through visual arts. By solving complex problems and mastering diverse techniques, our students learn to articulately celebrate beauty and transition from young learners into confident, purposeful creators.
